Abstract

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods of using location, context, and/or one or more communication networks for monitoring for, preempting, and/or mitigating pre-identified behavior. For example, exemplary embodiments disclosed herein may include involuntarily, automatically, and/or wirelessly monitoring/mitigating undesirable behavior (e.g., addiction related undesirable behavior, etc.) of a person (e.g., an addict, a parolee, a user of a system, etc.). In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a plurality of devices and/or sensors configured to determine, through one or more communications networks, a location of a person and/or a context of the person at the location; predict and evaluate a risk of a pre-identified behavior by the person in relation to the location and/or the context; and facilitate one or more actions and/or activities to mitigate the risk of the pre-identified behavior, if any, and/or react to the pre-identified behavior, if any, by the person.

 determine behavior(s) of at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons and context(s) associated with the behavior(s) of the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons via a plurality of measurements/readings taken by a plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks without requiring the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons to take the plurality of measurements/readings; 
 based on the determination and historical location-based data for the one or more pre-identified persons, assess, evaluate, and predict a risk of a future occurrence(s) of a pre-identified behavior(s) and associated context(s) by the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons; 
 facilitate one or more pre-identified actions and/or activities to preempt and/or lower the risk of the future occurrence(s) of the pre-identified behavior(s) by the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons; 
 determine whether any of one or more addiction triggers are active or present by comparing one or more settings for the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons with data collected from one or more of the plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks without requiring the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons to actively participate in the data collection process by the one or more of the plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks; and 
 receive and process feedback and adjust the plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks including modifying one or more of the settings and increasing or decreasing a frequency of data collection in response to the feedback including actions, contexts, and behaviors of the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons associated with the data; 
 wherein the one or more settings for the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons include one or more of blood pressure, heart rate, skin temperature, body temperature, respiratory rate, perspiration, weight, exercise schedule, external temperature, noise levels/loudness, and/or noise types/frequency(ies); and/or wherein the plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks comprise one or more biometric, environmental, and/or behavioral sensors that provide biometric, environmental, and/or behavioral data for the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons usable in determining whether any of the one or more addiction triggers are active or present before a relapse by the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons in partaking and/or exposure to the addiction and/or without requiring the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons to actively participate in the collection process of the biometric, environmental, and/or behavioral data by the one or more biometric, environmental, and/or behavioral sensors. 
 
     
     
       42. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media of  claim 41 , wherein:
 the plurality of measurements/readings taken by a plurality of different devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks include one or more of a local network, a public network, a private network, the internet, the Internet of Things, a wireless network, a terrestrial network, a cloud network, a Bluetooth network, a beacon network, a cloud network, a peer-to-peer network, a drone network, a Zigbee network, a satellite network, and/or wireline network; and 
 the determination of the context is based on one or more of biometric, environmental, activity, and/or behavioral data of the at least one of the one or more pre-identified persons; and 
 the pre-identified behavior(s) includes pre-identified addiction-related undesirable and desirable behavior(s).
